* Bitwise Gotcha

I've been working on porting some bitwise logic from Java to Python
and it's been as awful as that sentence sounds.

The main gotcha that I've run into has something to do with the fact
that an =int= in Java is 32-bits so the logical =NOT= of an integer is
different in Python vs Java.

So in python you get:
#+BEGIN_SRC python
>>> bin(~0x000000ff)
'-0b100000000'
#+END_SRC

Whereas with java:
#+BEGIN_SRC java
public class BitWise {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.format("%s\n", Integer.toBinaryString(~0x000000ff));  // Prints: 11111111111111111111111100000000
    }
}
#+END_SRC

I ran into a problem because I was trying to =XOR= the output of a
=NOT= which, obviously, comes out differently if you have different
expecations what comes from =NOT=, i.e.:
#+BEGIN_SRC python
assert(0b11111111111111111111111100000000 != -0b100000000)
#+END_SRC

The way around this for me, was to =AND= the =NOT= output with
=0xffffffff=. There are probably some weird edge-cases here =¯\_(ツ)_/¯=.

* Dumb git ref tricks

I'm always learning and losing dumb git tricks. Here are a few I might
lose if I don't keep them someplace:

** Store a random, named blob in a repo

In this case it's a GPG key

#+BEGIN_SRC sh
wget https://tylercipriani.com/018FAC02.asc
export obj=$(git hash-object -w --stdin < 018FAC02.asc)
git tag tyler-cipriani-gpg-key "$obj"
rm 018FAC02.asc
git cat-file -p $(git show-ref -s tyler-cipriani-gpg-key)
git show tyler-cipriani-gpg-key
#+END_SRC

** Create a local symbolic reference to some reference

Like that gpg key tag, for instance

#+BEGIN_SRC sh
git symbolic-ref GPG_KEY refs/tags/tyler-cipriani-gpg-key
git show GPG_KEY
#+END_SRC

** Create a whole new kind of ref, to track something and share it around

Could even store the gpg keys of lots of folks

#+BEGIN_SRC sh
wget https://tylercipriani.com/018FAC02.asc
export obj=$(git hash-object -w --stdin < 018FAC02.asc)
git update-ref refs/keys/tyler "$obj"
wget https://uniontownlabs.org/toddtreece.gpg.txt
export toddgpg=$(git hash-object -w --stdin < toddtreece.gpg.txt)
git update-ref refs/keys/todd "$toddgpg"
rm 018FAC02.asc toddtreece.gpg.txt
git show refs/keys/todd
git show refs/keys/tyler
#+END_SRC

You can even push them to a remote (github even) and fetch them back
down on the other side:

#+BEGIN_SRC sh
git push origin refs/keys/*:refs/keys/*
#+END_SRC

#+BEGIN_SRC sh
git clone [repo]
git fetch origin refs/keys/*:refs/keys/*
git show refs/keys/tyler
#+END_SRC

* What I learned about email addresses today
:PROPERTIES:

:END:

I burrowed into RFC 5322's [[https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5322#section-3.4.1][Address Spec]] for a long time today. This
resulted in a fun side-trip into [[https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5234][Augmented BNF for Syntax
Specifications: ABNF.]]

Email addresses break down to their [[https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5234#appendix-B.1][Core Rules]] like this:
#+BEGIN_SRC txt

The density of =local-part "@" domain= weighs on me.

What was impressed upon me is how viscous all communication is: a
means to deliever a message becomes a dense message of its own.

A valid domain is:
#+BEGIN_SRC txt

   domain          =  ([CFWS] dot-atom-text [CFWS]) /                 ; dot-atom
                      ([CFWS] "[" *([FWS] dtext) [FWS] "]" [CFWS]) /  ; domain-literal

If we get rid of the Content Folding White Space which has a lot of rules and seems to be everywhere and is a context-free grammar we get something like:

* Org-mode to publish a site

** A Manifesto of sorts

This single org-mode file is a blog. The org-mode file in which
I am writing this text is filled with material that either isn't
substantive or focused enough to be published on my normal blog.

This material should be less ephemeral than things on a wiki (e.g.
The movies section, the RFCs section, the Wikipedia pages section
should be moved the [[http://blazeyandtyler.com/wiki/Blazey_and_Tyler][Wiki]]).

I tend to experiment more with format in this file than in my notes
directory (which I keep using [[http://jblevins.org/projects/deft/][Deft]] and org-mode) which means I
learn more org-mode and that is a Good Thing™.

** Some inspiration

Making a real-live multi-page cool-looking blog out of an org-mode file isn't impossible.

** Other org-related things

Can I just say: =org-babel= looks awesome as fuck.

A literate programming environment that can be used to configure a lisp-machine.

To paraphrase one of the authors below: that'll earn you a lot of nerd merit-
badges. I should maybe consider moving my [[https://github.com/thcipriani/linuxtips][Linux Tips]]
repo over to this. Also, I should move my repos off of github and onto
something self-hosted :( Too. Many. Projects. Le. Sigh.

** How I generated this page

This is a weird, psuedo literate way of updating this file on the
squiggle.city site.

First I ssh into =squiggle= using a src block with a =:session= identifier.
The actual code in the org file can be seen on [[https://github.com/thcipriani/dotfiles/blob/master/plan#L62-L64][github]].

For what it's worth, I am executing *this file* to generate *this HTML*.
 #+BEGIN_SRC sh :results silent :session squiggle
ssh squiggle
#+END_SRC

I can make sure I'm on the server, by checking the hostname, again, in
the same =:session=. One important note that it took a while to figure out:
I have to use the =:exports both= argument for the source block to show
the results in the HTML output.
#+BEGIN_SRC sh :session squiggle :exports both
hostname
#+END_SRC

#+RESULTS:
: squiggle.city

I Have a file that exists as a local hack in my dotfiles on squiggle.city
server, but don't take my word for it:
#+BEGIN_SRC sh :results code :session squiggle :exports both
file "/home/thcipriani/bin/squigglegen"
#+END_SRC

#+RESULTS:
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
/home/thcipriani/bin/squigglegen: C source, ASCII text
#+END_SRC

Now, locally, without using the =:session=. I can save and commit this file
to my =.dotfiles= repo:
#+BEGIN_SRC sh :results output :exports both
/usr/bin/git -C /home/tyler/.dotfiles add plan
/usr/bin/git -C /home/tyler/.dotfiles commit -m '.plan spelling fixes'
/usr/bin/git -C /home/tyler/.dotfiles push
#+END_SRC

#+RESULTS:
: [master 2655be0] Add plan from org-mode
:  1 file changed, 30 insertions(+), 18 deletions(-)

Then, back on my remote session, I can pull this code down, and regenerate my
page using the =squigglegen= command.
#+BEGIN_SRC sh :session squiggle :results output :exports both
/home/thcipriani/bin/squigglegen
#+END_SRC

#+RESULTS:
: First, rewinding head to replay your work on top of it...

The programmer, like the poet, works only slightly removed from pure
thought-stuff. He builds his castles in the air, from air, creating by
exertion of the imagination. Few media of creation are so flexible, so easy
to polish and rework, so readily capable of realizing grand conceptual
structures... Yet the program construct, unlike the poet's words, is real
in the sense that it moves and works, producing visible outputs separate
from the construct itself. [...] The magic of myth and legend has come
true in our time. One types the correct incantation on a keyboard, and a
display screen comes to life, showing things that never were nor could be.

Poetry is like a curvy slide in a playground - an odd object, available
to the public - and, as I keep explaining to my local police force,
everyone should be able to use it, not just those of a certain age.

The first man who, having fenced in a piece of land, said 'This is mine,'
and found people naïve enough to believe him, that man was the true
founder of civil society. From how many crimes, wars, and murders, from
how many horrors and misfortunes might not any one have saved mankind, by
pulling up the stakes, or filling up the ditch, and crying to his fellows:
Beware of listening to this impostor; you are undone if you once forget
that the fruits of the earth belong to us all, and the earth
itself to nobody.

– Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Discourse on Inequality, 1754
